How co-op works

Online co-op for up to four players who must coordinate movement, share resources, and communicate constantly to complete objectives while evading intelligent dinosaur predators that hunt by sight and sound.

About this game

Deathground drops teams into the decaying halls of the AEON research facility, where genetically engineered dinosaurs roam freely and every footstep risks detection. Players must complete mission objectives scattered across procedurally varied environments, balancing stealth with the urgency of ticking timers and dwindling supplies.

Gameplay revolves around observation, evasion, and reactive decision-making. Dinosaurs respond dynamically to noise, movement, and line of sight, forcing squads to whisper callouts, crouch through debris, and split up only when absolutely necessary. Distractions, environmental hazards, and limited-use tools offer fleeting advantages, but mistakes cascade quickly when a predator locks on.

Each successful extraction unlocks new equipment blueprints and story fragments that piece together the facility's collapse. Sessions blend short, tense runs with longer expeditions as players grow familiar with patrol patterns and optimal routes. The emphasis on communication and spatial awareness keeps even veteran teams on edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many players can team up in co-op?

Deathground supports 1-4 players in online co-op. You can play solo or bring up to three friends to tackle the missions together.

Is stealth required, or can we fight the dinosaurs?

The game heavily emphasizes stealth and evasion. While you have limited-use tools and distractions to create advantages, direct combat isn't the focus-dinosaurs are deadly threats you're meant to sneak past or flee from rather than fight head-on.

Are the missions and facility layout always the same?

No, the environments are procedurally varied, so mission objectives and routes shift between runs. You'll need to adapt to changing layouts and dinosaur patrol patterns each session.

Is the game finished or still in development?

Deathground is currently in Early Access, so it's still being actively developed with new features and content planned before the full release.
